I'm still hoping (but not expecting) for Monahan. It all hinges on what CAR and, to a lesser extent, CGY do.

I can't see TBL passing on Drouin, he is arguably the most skilled player in the draft with the highest offensive potential. I don't think NSH passes on the opportunity to draft a skilled centre; they are well aware of the problems and hindrances of lacking a no.1 centre. CAR is a little harder to gauge, but they don't have a history drafting Russians and are hesitant to draft defensemen in the top 10. Also, with their close connection to the Plymouth Whalers, they seem to favour the OHL more often then not. I think we are all hoping CGY goes off the board like in 2012, but I seriously doubt that happens. They are well aware of the size and skill at centre in their division next season and will be looking to add someone with potential to compete against those players.
